I see a raptor-like species, an iguanodont, possibly a Dilophosaurus?, a couple of sauropods (one large, one smaller), a couple of stegosaurs and a possible allosaurid?. There's also a couple of pterosaurs in the sky. The back half of the picture has a lot of overlap, so it's hard to make out the dinosaurs. Over all of them is the title "New products, Please look forward to". Is this new to anyone or am I just now seeing this?

It's not new, it's been around since 2023 I believe.  Some of the species on the poster never got made.  And on that note, I read in the Paleofiguras group that a palaeontologist contacted Haolonggood to offer to collaborate with them but was told that they have already decided all the species they will release this year.  So unfortunately listing any more wishes for them now shouldn't make a difference.

Thank you avatar_Sim @Sim That's what I was looking for. I don't recall seeing it before. 🙂

I wonder if the 2025 releases are all cast in stone. Apparently the decision to include Iguanodon was made fairly recently. And we have seen in 2024 that they changed plans compared to what they announced in their catalog.

Update on the Alamosaurus. Haolonggood will again produce the blue and purple paint variant.

I wonder if Haolonggood cancelled their plans for Udanoceratops and Hungarosaurus as they planned to make them gifts with large sauropod models, yet when they did that for Huayangosaurus it got a negative reception?

Would be a damn shame if we don't see that Udanoceratops... Was really looking forward to it!

Those must be rumors right, like Shantungosaurus & Mosasaurus.

Sim

Someone posted screenshots of Haolonggood saying they would make them.

Totally, more time to appreciate this beauty.

Lets hope that is not the case, I really want those 2.

Instead of bonus figures for the large sauropods, Haolonggood should release the smaller species (Huayangosaurus, Udanoceratops, Hungarosaurus) in 2-packs or 3-packs.

This would create another level of difficulty, because of how they would mix the different color variants of each of them. For a pack with 2 species, you have already 4 possible combinations. If they go down this road, only reasonable option would be to make only one color variant of each species.

There must not be a huge demand for them anyway. I had to go to eBay to sell my spare on eBay, no one here seemed interested.

Turkeysaurus

I was waiting for Minizoo to bring Brachiosaurus to store but they are too late and I realized decent deals from Aliexpress stores started to going out of stock.

So i bought blue variant from Model Toy Center , Aliexpress. It was the last one for now i think.

Unfortunately as usual, i will have it my hands within a few years. I also ordered Triceratops, green one.

Nice to see more of the blue and red side by side. I did manage to get my order switched to the red but it's not without some regret

Turkeysaurus

I think this is the first time i find all three variants equal.

My color choice was based on contrast against other sauropods i had. (Especially similar size & body plan)

There is a comment under this video about Haolonggood having the licence of Walking With Dinosaurs 2025. Andy says he heard too. Anyone heard anything about this?

You are right, I hadn't thought of it that way, giving the buyer color choices it's kinda of a Haolonggood trademark.
Just one color variant would be fine for me in order to get the small species released.

I feel like I haven't seen enough people mention how off the brachis foot looks, like is it in mid stride but not putting any weight on either foot? opinions?
